Hi all,
I've written previously about our adventure in driving from Arlington, Virginia to the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum in Salt Lake City two years ago. We've actually already picked up Biscuit and are on our way, or at least we were on our way, driving Biscuit to Florida where Biscuit will be used as a daily driver by my son in Daytona Beach. I will tell a coherent story and fill in the gaps later about the adventure so far, but at the moment poor Biscuit is laid up in Moab right outside the door of Room 101 at JR's Desert Inn on Main Street in Moab, Utah, and we could use some help...
We were sticking to Level 2 difficulty trails given that Biscuit had just been serviced and were on the way back from a lovely drive past Hurrah Pass to the East of Moab when the 22R died. Gas, check. Crank, check. Spark...nope. Looked for loose stuff nothing. I did not see it at the time but it turned that the coil had split and black lava like stuff had sagged out of it. I'd share a photo but the bandwidth in Moab makes that a challenge. We ordered and replaced the coil and the igniter and still no joy. I've ordered the pickup that goes in the distributor but it won't be here until Thursday.
My apologies, but his is kind of a plea for help if anyone knows of some friendly Mud members or can recommend a mechanic in Moab who would be old Land Cruiser friendly, I'd be very appreciative.
